Is there a tag to create an absolute URL from a relative one?

[K.C. Baltz]

Is there anyway to make the <c:url> tag generate an absolute URL, given 
a relative URI?  Or perhaps another tag? 

For example, if I had a file main.jsp in the root of my webapp, I'd like 
the following mock tag:

<c:url value="/main.jsp" absolute="true" />

to produce the following result

http://myserver:port/servletContext/main.jsp

I can do this by hand using 
request.get[Scheme|ServerName|ServerPort|ContextPath](), so it seems 
like a tag should be able to do it.

K.C.
